International Zeolite Corp. announced the signing of a Technology Transfer Agreement between the University of Havana Foundation (UH) and International Zeolite Corp. (IZ) for exclusive development and commercialization of NEREA® - a revolutionary breakthrough in agricultural technology and crop science.

NEREA® is a proprietary "zeoponic" technology for modern agriculture that embeds the entire suite of plant-required nutrients directly into zeolite, a naturally occurring nano-structured mineral with a broad array of beneficial properties. NEREA® used as a drop-in substrate or soil amendment in field or controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) not only reduces fertilizer waste and runoff by up to 90% but has proven to produce higher yields of crops by 20-30% as well as a higher quality of agricultural product, sooner; lowers water use by up to 30% or more; and inhibits plant infection by fungi, viruses and other pathogens. NEREA® substrates are environmentally friendly and do not produce wastes that damage the environment.

IZ has validated NEREA® in independent A/B trials at two prominent independent research institutions, with impressive results.
